I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
I applied online. I got a call from hr person and had a casual chat about my status and what I'm intereted and what I've done so far. The process took 2+ week. I interviewed on the phone. We talked about one project that I've done very deeply.
Every process was pretty smooth and enjoyable! I only did the final loop interview and it was okay. even tho 5 hours interview is a lot, I enjoyed the whole process.
Recruiter call, hiring manager interview then portfolio review then rigorous interview loop with portfolio review and whiteboard challenge all alluding to LPs and also has bar raiser questions, data is important

Question 1
Name a time you had to deliver under a tight deadline
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bangalore Rural) in Apr 2026
Interview
I reached the first video round (they call it phone screen) over zoom. This was after assessment and HR screening. HR teams was great at scheduling the interviews, but they still scheduled my interview a day early which i had not given that on my preference dates. In the mail it was told that it's a role competency based behavioural round with respect to amazon's leadership principles but my interviewer (from US time zone) conducted a mini portfolio round and asked me to present 2 case studies which i was not prepared for. Interviewer didn't care about any STAR method. Got a rejection mail within the timeline mentioned to hear back from them which was 2 days.
